OBJECTIVES
To discuss the dangers of pornography into comprehensive sex
education programs for students.
Negative Effects:
Addiction: Excessive consumption of pornography may lead to addiction-like behaviors, with individuals spending
increasing amounts of time viewing explicit content to achieve the same level of arousal.
Distorted Sexual Expectations: Exposure to unrealistic portrayals of sex and body image in pornography may
contribute to distorted expectations and perceptions of real-world sexual experiences.
Relationship Issues: Some studies suggest that frequent pornography use may be associated with negative
relationship outcomes, such as decreased relationship satisfaction or intimacy issues.
Desensitization: There are concerns that prolonged exposure to explicit content may lead to desensitization, where
individuals become less responsive to sexual stimuli over time.
Psychological Effects of Pornography
Mixed or Nuanced Effects:
Individual Differences: Responses to pornography can vary widely based on individual factors such
as age, personality, cultural background, and personal values.
Moderation: Some researchers argue that moderate and responsible consumption of pornography
is less likely to lead to negative effects compared to excessive or compulsive use.
Varied Content: Pornography is a diverse category, with content ranging from consensual and
ethical to explicit and potentially harmful. Generalizations about its effects may not apply uniformly.
SOCIAL AND CULTURAL
IMPLICATIONS
The growing awareness of pornography use among
high school teens, through school and community-
based individual and group counseling sessions.
Researching topics related to pornography use
among teens revealed a large field of studies on the
impact of brain development and its link to an
increased dissatisfaction in intimate relationships and
an increase in sexually aggressive behaviors.
SOCIAL AND CULTURAL
IMPLICATIONS
Did you know that 1 in 3 videos contain depictions of sexual violence and
aggression? This sets a precedent of what women are expected and
supposed to do during sex. Implementing that aggravated assault is a turn-
on and a must during sexual intimacy.
The bare minimum is creating a safe and coessential space for sex between
yourself and your partner. Remember a woman doesn’t owe you anything
and just because she said yes to one thing doesn’t mean you have a
greenlight in other sexual acts.
SOCIAL AND CULTURAL
IMPLICATIONS
Before you open Pornhub or any other major platform that produces
pornography, remember its effects on the women around you.
Remember the burden it puts on women and the violence against them.
Remember that women are not objects,
They are human beings, with feelings and desires that don’t revolve around
the male ideology of sex.
LEGAL AND ETHICAL
CONSIDERATIONS
What are ethical and legal consideration?
Legal standards are based on written law, while ethical standards
are based on human rights and wrongs. Something can be legal
but not ethical. Legal standards are written by government
officials, while ethical standards are written by societal norms.
LEGAL AND ETHICAL
CONSIDERATIONS
RA 9775 - otherwise known as the Anti-Child Pornography Act of
2009. AN ACT DEFINING THE CRIME OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY,
PRESCRIBING PENALTIES THEREFOR AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES
"Child" refers to a person below eighteen (18) years of age or over
but is unable to fully take care of, or protect, himself/herself from
abuse, neglect, cruelty, exploitation or discrimination because of a
physical or mental disability or condition.
LEGAL AND ETHICAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The 6 Ethical Considerations includes:
1. Voluntary Participation - Any participation in a research study
is completely voluntary. You are free to decline to participate
for any reason. You may also stop participating at any time or
refuse to answer any individual questions. Even after you sign
the consent form, you can stop.
LEGAL AND ETHICAL
CONSIDERATIONS
2. Informed Consent - Informed consent is one of the founding
principles of research ethics. Its intent is that human participants can
enter research freely (voluntarily) with full information about what it
means for them to take part, and that they give consent before they
enter the research.
3. Anonymity - A condition in which the identity of individual subjects
is not known to researchers. To limit or control how personal data is
collected and stored, as well as who can access and use it.
LEGAL AND ETHICAL
CONSIDERATIONS
4. Confidentiality - Confidentiality means that you know who the
participants are, but you remove all identifying information from your
report. All participants have a right to privacy, so you should protect
their personal data for as long as you store or use it.
5. Only assess relevant components - Only assess relevant
components: This means you should only assess those components
that are of relevance to the research being conducted.
LEGAL AND ETHICAL
CONSIDERATIONS
6. No to Harm - The ethical principle of nonmaleficence requires that
the health care provider not intentionally and maliciously cause harm
or injury to patients under his or her care.
